The N2N gallery is privileged to invite all established and aspiring artists in Abu Dhabi for master classes with Katerina Spirtus teaching the very trendy botanical watercolouring. Pleased with her last experience in the gallery and alongside the students, Katerina is coming down to the UAE for the second time with a new session teaching the art of watercolors.

Fascinated by Italian art and encouraged by her mother and grandmother, Katerina Spirtus started painting at a very young age and her journey reached the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kiev, which she graduated in 2009.

Katerina believes that flowers are like faces, unique, with different character and soul. Taking up the challenging task of giving an online class on watercolouring upon the compulsion of the student, which eventually was a great success and the initiative of her close friend, a florist, to do a watercolour painting of a live bouquet in a waffle cup, embarked a new dimension in her artistic life. Thereafter, she undertook various botanical watercolor classes, simultaneously, creating her own masterpieces in botanical art. She also recently did two exhibitions of her botanical watercolor works in Netherlands and Ukraine.

During this unique session you shall be taught about drawing, required materials, creating colors and the watercolor techniques required in botanical art.

We believe in the efficiency Katerina displayed for the students in her last class in the gallery and thus assure the quality of her teaching and works. This new class on botanical art is promised to be intriguing and gratifying as well.
